SETTING” flashes on the unit’s display.

STEP2 Locating

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

≥Use the speakers with the short cords (SB-FDM3) for the front and center, and the ones with the long cords (SB-RDM3) for the surround

speakers.

Center speaker (5) SB-FDM3

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television.

≥Do not place the center speaker on the main unit as sound quality will

be affected.

≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.

Front speakers [Left (1)/Right (2)]

SB-FDM3

Main unit

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Leave 30-mm (13⁄16q) clearance at the rear of the unit.

Subwoofer (6) SB-WDM3

Place near the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.

≥A woofer unit is located on the side of the subwoofer.

Leave 10-cm (4q) clearance for it to be effective.

˚ 30

˚ 30

120˚

Surround speakers [Left (3)/Right (4)]

SB-RDM3

Place either side of the seating position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level.

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points. ≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.

≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

Note	(9⁄32q–23⁄64q)

The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 5 kg (11 Ib.) per screw.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the

6 television.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. –When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

Caution

≥Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
